MetropolitanMD Announces Creation of Vulvodynia Clinic in Chicago IL
Chicago, IL, February 25, 2009 - MetropolitanMD, a dermatologic, ear nose and throat, and cosmetic surgical practice in Chicago IL., has announced a program to treat vulvodynia. This is a disease of women, with many causes that produces great discomfort to its sufferers. As a result of studies over the last three decades vulvodynia is now recognized as a compilation of a number of dermatologic, infectious, immune mediated, and neurologic pathway disorders that are best treated in a setting that is familiar with all of these types of disorders.
Trained gynecologists and dermatologists are able to treat the disease after appropriate history, physical exam, and testing. The majority of patients can now expect partial or full relief of symptoms with appropriate care. Visit this page on vulvodynia for more information.
Dr. Edward Lack, MD is a double board certified dermatologist with training in dermatology and venereology, and several decades of experience in diagnosing and treating vulvodynia. Dr. Lack is also a noted dermatologic surgeon and this is an area where medical and surgical dermatology best complement each other. He will serve as medical director of the vulvodynia clinic of MetropolitanMD.
